Exercise Challenge: Days 23 & 24

Whoops! Forgot to post on Sunday. A bit of walking to & fro added up to just over 20 minutes, all of which were very brisk, I assure you. As much as I hate walking up that steep hill from the foot of Fraser Street, I know it's good for me. :P

Today was the official I'll-start-my-diet-Monday Monday: My exams, term papers & all that stuff are finished. My schedule has opened up completely & I'm ready for some aquafit! Except the pool closest to us is closed for maintenance! Argh. Bizarrely, they seem to have closed their online schedule for maintenance too. (Huh?) Why can't they just put up the damn schedule for a pool that's supposed to open in six days?

Harrumph. Anyway, not too much exercise to speak of today. Walked to the park & back, which hardly qualifies as exercise. However, the time that I really want to be out doing something in the spring weather (inching closer to room temperature out there, OMG) is when Sprout is sleeping. I'm stuck at home catching up on writing work while he snoozes three hours.

In terms of effects, I'm starting to notice my appetite is increasing a little & I'm
not getting the afternoon snoozies as much the last week or so. I can
only assume that this is due to the increased activity level ramping up
my metabolism a little. So not an entirely bad couple of days. :)
